Booking

Baemsagol is a valley about 14 km long that drops from Banyabong peak to Banseon on Jirisan's north side. Rock walls frame it all the way, with around 100 falls and pools and a broad, flat boulder that can seat some 100 people. It's bright with azaleas in spring, green and cool in summer and colorful in autumn, and the nature trail suits both a gentle stroll and a longer hike. The park's visitor centers run nature programs.
